Hi all, Just a quick question for any experts on here. Is the below picture ok? Flue from gas fire appears to come through this pipe in attic and then out side wall. Just wondering if this is normal procedure? Thanks!

Flue comes through it OR that is the flue?
What sort of gas fire?

It's not something Iv seen before.

I'd turn it off and leave it off, get it serviced by a RGI who would have to check the flue meets gas regs and manufactures requirements.

Also if you don't have them I'd think of fitting a few carbon monoxide detectors, dirt cheap and can save lives.
